Popis: The magnetic dipole transitions in rare earth ions in crystals are described in terms of a model based on the fourth order perturbation theory. An analysis of the perturbing influence of crystal field potential and spin-orbit interaction is made. In addition to intra-shell interactions, inter-shell interactions that include the influence of the excited configurations are analysed. The transition amplitude is defined in terms of effective operators expressed by double unit tensor operators. The radial integrals of all effective operators are defined within the perturbed function approach, therefore the complete radial basis sets of one-electron states of given symmetry are taken into account. Conclusions mainly focus on the possible importance of magnetic dipole transitions in the description of electric dipole 0 ⟷ 0 transition due to the so-called borrowing mechanism.
